The software engineering student |
/pro/ |
Hi, my name is Hugo Brandão, and currently I'm a student in Software Engineering @ Minho University, Braga, Portugal. At 20 years of age I have come in contact with a variety of programming languages, being now proficient in C/C++ and Java and taking interest in Ruby, as well as some functional programming, learning more every day. I don't have a lot of experience in general, but my will to learn is ever present in the work I do, making me always try to explore new projects to further expand my knowledge and friendships with my collaborators and mentors. I hope to work in the Game Dev Industry, having an interest in Computer Graphics and video games in general. For now, I want to complete my studies as I participate in every interesting project possible to be the best developer I can be, always contributing with a new mindset and perspective.
I worked with the Retail team, producing betting screens that are displayed in PaddyPower betting shops all over the United Kingdom. These were frontend applications, built with React.
I'm currently on my third year on my integrate masters, and thinking about pursing a Computer Graphics Master next year.
I finished highshcool in Sciences and technologies with a final grade of 17.1/20.

I thrive with tecnologies that make me learn and adapt, making me think about the best approach to a problem. I have a passion for games (and making them!), thinking about doing my master in Computer Graphics and Parallel Computation.
I've always been enloved with game, their logic, physics and graphics, making me pursue a career path that gives me the most tools I can possibly have, in order to make me the most informed when it comes to making decisions. When forced outdoors, I like to hang out with my friends playing guitar, playing basketball or volleyball, and going to beach in the summer.
